Darvas Gábor

He completed his secondary education in Nagybecskerek (Zrenjanin), and in 1912, he obtained a degree in mechanical engineering in Budapest. The war was a defining event in his life from a literary perspective. He was captured as a patient in a typhus hospital. As a prisoner, he experienced the hardships of the Serbian army's retreat through Albania. He was taken to Isola d’Asinara, an uninhabited island near Sardinia, where cholera was rampant. From there, he returned to Óbecse (Bečej), where he worked as a mechanic. In 1935, he emigrated to Israel. Until 1958, he was the organizer and owner of a metal processing tool factory in Haifa. He was featured in A Mi Irodalmunk Almanachja (Almanac of Our Literature) (1931) and the short story anthology Ákácok alatt (Under the Acacias) (1933).
